My Electrolux Oven (EOB51001) cuts out every time I switch on the temperature. It knocks out all of my appliances/trips the fuse for my whole downstairs. Thoughts?

Error message E8 indicates a communication issue between electronics..
To resolve this issue:

• Check fuses in the installation.
• Disconnect the appliance from power for at least 30 seconds.
• Reconnect it and switch it back on.
• If the problem persists, we recommend contacting an Authorized Service Center.

I have a few questions. Does the oven reach the set temperature? How do you get it to go back on? and if you do not set the time do you have the same problem?

From my experience the most common reason for this failure is a thermal switch for cooling fan. It is located on the upper side between the wiring and its function is to switch off the cooling fan when the temperature drops even though the oven is already turned off. If the cooling fan does not work then it will increase the temperature on the cabinet and the main temperature limiter will switch off the oven.

Best get in touch with the company you got it from. Do not play with it as it should be covered under the warranty. i say electrolux should see it.

Hi, welcome to FixYa! my name is Shaun. I hope i can help you out with your question. Your main house breaker is tripping over 180C because of the amount of current your oven is drawing. Keep in mind that an oven is capable of pulling up to 1/4 the amount of amperage of your total house current capacity, up to 50 Amps. This is assuming you have a typical 200 Amp main breaker. Add this in with your heating/air-conditioning, up to 30A, if electric, your water heater, 25 A if electric, and whatever lights and appliances you have plugged in and turned on, you can imagine how quickly those amps add up when your oven is on. Your oven breaker won't trip because you're not exceeding 50A on that circuit, however if your total household load is exceeding 200A, your main will trip. Also, breakers lose efficiency over time. Sometimes they can drop current capacity by as much as 25%. So your best bet is to replace your house main and see if that fixes your problem. Hope this helps out. Have a good day!

You have a shortage in your wiring system and you'd need to call for service.

check your heating ellement

You probably have a bad ( or open ) heating element.. With the power removed.. look at the heating element and make sure it is connected properly and if after you check that it looks ok.. plug it in and try again.. if it fails to get hot..its probably bad.. Not sure what you mean when you say ' IT TRIPPED THE ELECTRIC SWITCH OFF AT THE TIME' but if it tripped the switch or circuit breaker .. your heating element may be shorting out to ground.. and would need to be replaced anyway... Hope that helps.
